About

Let me introduce myself.

People call me Praveen or PravMan. I am an ailurophile, vegetarian, and an experimental chef. Well, I would like to experiment as much as I can, on food and my life. My body is made up of HTML & CSS, which is literally me! This defines me as a Full Stack Web Developer (Front End, Back End, Middleware, Whatever...).

Oh yeah, I am a highly motivated, passionate hard-core web developer with diverse experience in developing web applications, hybrid mobile apps, and cloud computing solutions ranging from working on cute layouts, payment gateways etcetera and the list goes on till making a clone, better than Facebook. Yup, you heard it right. I did make a clone of our favourite social network from scratch.

ParticiPoll

Growth Hacker

Growth hacking is a marketing technique developed by technology startups which uses creativity, analytical thinking, and social metrics to sell products and gain exposure.

I am working on improving the quality of Participoll, which is a free audience polling service for PowerPoint, based on the feature requests by the users and fixing potential bugs.

Tata Consultancy Services

Front End Architect / Research Scientist

My work is to convert the images into a valid (X)HTML and CSS, with Cross Browser Compatibility across IE 7+, Firefox, Chrome and other standard browsers. Most of the projects would be Enterprise Applications.

Working on CSS is my expertise. I have learnt a lot in finding the issues with the layout engine of old Internet Explorer browsers and make them work with the desired box model and layout. I have started working with the awesomeness of CSS3.

It is also my work to handle the interactions, which do not require a server response. I work on jQuery and make the interactions usable. The maximum I have done is using AJAX to get the response from the server in JSON format, manipulate it and render it on the browser, with some good effects.

I have also used faye and tried out getting live desktop notifications using WebKit Notifications API in Chrome.

The most amazing mentor I've ever met! I wish I knew him personally. Extremely knowledgeable and beyond helpful. He really motivated, and steered me in the best direction. He also sent me helpful information for me to research and read so that I can reach my goal even faster. I can't express how appreciative I am towards his willingness to teach, mentor and more importantly, be a person with a good heart who wants to sincerely and honestly help a novice programmer like me. Thank you!

Hands down the best first experience I could possibly have using hack hands! Praveen beyond exceeded expectations, we stuck to a strict budget and when the time was finished Praveen worked an additional 30 minutes at no cost just because he wanted to ensure I got the code that I needed. Praveen is super friendly and very knowledgable on the content, I plan to work with him again and recommend others too as well!

I am a learning specialist with 20yrs of experience with giants like GE, Harvard, and united nations- I know a good teacher when I see one -Praveen is the most intelligent, wise and helpful mentor I ever found. he's awesome. I have no words to thank him. he's awesome with algorithms and best practices and his teaching skills are nothing but superb- feeling bad that there are only 5 stars here to rating he's n^5 star guy. God bless him and plural sight.

Praveen was great! Walked me through my work and gave me a great start for my assignment. Honestly, I can't thank him enough! He paused the session when he didn't think I was gaining any value (i.e when I was trying to find the tab to end the session at the end). Definitely recommended!
